Hi Eric,
Hadn't thought about the password thing, I'll take out that recordset.
At this point the e-mail recordset is on the page and I've got it filtered through the e-mail column, I forgot to mention that in the last reply but it was already on the page when I tried setting the validation before.
I guess the place to start with questions though is whether or not I was doing the correct steps. The listing in my previous reply was the way I was trying it but something was going wrong.
You mentioned a "header call" and I'm not familiar with that term so I'll study up on it but any clarification you can give would help.
According to the sequence that i listed in my last reply was that the correct method for doing it?
Sorry to be so much trouble. This site was a pretty aggressive undertaking for my first dynamic site and only the 4th site I've ever done but my job went away and starting this site was what I had to do. Man, what was I thinking? LOL
